I "early adopted" Win 11 when the Ryzen 5600X came out (late 2020 i think?) and it was objectively better at release. All MS had to do was fix the start button and then not fuck with it and I'm sure there would have been way less hatorade flowing.

Unioronically what my friends yelled at me when they saw me struggling to ride a dirt bike lol. I do a wobbly pass by them and hear "GO FASTER!" and it fuckin worked lol.

Daaaamn. The closest thing I could think of was my friend's 96 (98? Whenever the EK body started) Honda civic that had the factory alarm and remote locks in the radio. He ended up splicing some wires and shoving the factory radio into his glove box or something to get around it.

How long until they start putting some kind of DRM in cars that prevents you from just installing an aftermarket android auto head unit?

This is my favorite response in the entire thread so far.

Depends on the state, apparently. There's no codified federal definition for what constitutes a "milkshake". As opposed to something like ice cream which is very much codified at a federal level.

I posted a link further down, but apparently national chains do this is to avoid dealing with state regulations. "Its not a milkshake, its a Blizzard!"

The definition has changed throughout the years, hopefully we can all at least agree on that. Some early "shakes" had no milk whatsoever! I didn't know this either, but apparently the US has no legal definition of what constitutes a milkshake, leaving it up to the individual states to decide.

I also found this little snippet particularly interesting for this conversation:

As an ice cream drink, the 20th-century milkshake’s only serious contenders have been its legions of imitators. United States federal code defines ice cream down to the amount of air it may contain, but is silent on milkshakes, leaving their parameters to states. For restaurants with regional or national reach, the simplest way to sidestep dozens of states’ conflicting milkshake definitions within their territories is not to sell milkshakes. Many, instead, offer “shakes” or milkshake-adjacent frozen dessert drinks with branded names that suggest creamy coldness, but avoid the legal entanglements of calling them “milkshakes.”

This is why you end up with Blizzards and Frosties apparently!

Been saving up styrofoam all year. For arts and crafts, of course!

Back in my day we just wrote bad checks! (I'm kidding, I've never even owned a checkbook unless it was a starter pad that came with the account)

Don't forget eating almost exclusively fast food so that nobody can poison your meals.
